We’ve all been there. You’re headed to meet your spouse at a new restaurant in the city. You have the address, and you think you know how to get there. But while you’re trying to drive, read a map, and phone your spouse to warn of your tardiness, you manage to miss the turn and end up in some unfamiliar (and dangerous) part of town. Really, with multi-tasking like that, you’re lucky you don’t have an accident. Fortunately, better portable GPS technology is making driving less stressful and more fun.
Fun driving starts with a car that is enjoyable to drive. Sure, you can’t afford to buy that Bentley GTC that you’ve been eyeing, but you can still drive something fun. You could rent a sports car in Dallas from DFW Elite Auto Rental or rent a Lotus Elise in Savannah, GA from Shane Atwood at Precious Metals Cars. Of course, not every car rental agency specializes in high performance cars. You can find a reputable exotic car rental business using rentexoticcars.net, a free online directory.
Now that you know where to find something fun to drive, it’s time to make sure that you get there in one piece and on time. According to online merchant Woot.com, the Amcor 3.5 Touch Screen Portable GPS is the solution to the typical backseat driver dilemma: “Its three-and-a-half-inch full-color touchscreen offers smooth panning and a quick, responsive zoom. If you miss a turn or ignore its advice, it won’t sigh pointedly; it just gets to work on the new route. It even plays mp3s—and lets the driver pick what to listen to!â€
Other features of the Amcor 3.5 Touch Screen Portable GPS include photo and movie viewing, clock, odometer, backup battery, ETA, address book, horizontal map, 3-D map, voice-guided commands, choice of multiple routes, built-in games, lighted design for nighttime and backlit keypad for daylight, and a 3.5†full-color LCD touch screen. The Amcor 3.5 Touch Screen Portable GPS is available on Amazon.com for $188.
